For years, cloud computing was synonymous with centralization. That era is over. Enter: the distributed cloud.

Hybrid distributed systems, which integrate many architectures or concepts, are also distributed systems. For instance, a distributed system might use a P2P design for file sharing and a client ...

In a distributed pumping system, the primary pumps are not only trying to satisfy the system set point, they are actually balancing the flows across the de-coupler. By using Grundfos’ dedicated ...

The cost of underestimating security and compliance translates to catastrophic risks. Unfortunately, despite the growing complexity of modern distributed systems, many organizations still treat these ...

For a distributed system to function harmoniously, maintaining a consistent state across all agents is critical. This is where the concept of an immutable log comes into play.

Distributed computing allows components of software systems to be shared among multiple computers and run as one system, thus improving efficiency and performance.

But as with any distributed system, tradeoffs exist. Blob storage is slower. However, it is still within 100ms for most of the small payloads, which can work for most of the systems.

It argues that distributed systems are less vulnerable to natural disasters. Eliminating the need for large towers also can reduce energy consumption and costs of real estate and insurance.
